Prophesee
Event-based Image Sensor
PPS3MVCD
Prophesee third generation Metavision® sensor is the first industry-standard packaged chip that leverages Event-Based Vision technology. This new packaged version of Prophesee’s Metavision® sensor enables next-generation vision in industrial automation and IoT systems such as robots, inspection equipment, monitoring and surveillance devices.
It leverages Prophesee’s use of neuromorphic vision technology to offer highly efficient machine vision capabilities for a variety of use models, including ultra high-speed part counting, vibration measurement and monitoring or kinematic
monitoring for predictive maintenance. It allows for unprecedented speed, dynamic range, data volume, and power efficiency.
Technology Overview:
In Prophesee Metavision® sensors, each pixel is independent and asynchronous. Each pixel only activates itself if it senses a change in the scene, a movement - an event. This proprietary Event-Based approach allows for major reductions of power, latency and data processing requirements imposed by traditional frame-based systems. It enables sensors to achieve much higher dynamic ranges than commonly associated with highspeed vision. And it allows cost-efficient sensors and systems to record events that would otherwise require conventional cameras to run at 10,000 images/second and more.
The sensor can be used by system developers to improve and in some cases create whole new industrial uses, including accelerating quality assessment on production lines; positioning, sensing and movement guidance for robots to enable better human collaboration; and equipment monitoring (e.g. caused by vibration, kinetic deviations) making the system an asset for predictive maintenance and reduced machine downtime.
Robust Toolkit Support:
The sensor is supported by a robust development environment for evalutions. It includes a comprehensive software development kit (SDK), a full set of drivers, the Prophesee Player tool for recording sequences and visualizing data and access to the Prophesee Online Portal, a detailed knowledge center containing useful resources for developers.
Features:
- 640×480 VGA Event-Based sensor
- Package: 13×15 mm mini PBGA
- >120dB Dynamic Range
- <1mHz Typical Background Activity
- 66MepsMax. Bandwidth
